I've had this exact same problem installing mailman on solaris. The problem is in getting python configured properly. Make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to all the right places, including wherever the SSL libraries live, and you may have to hack the Modules/Setup file in the python build directory so the appropriate modules are built and installed. Also check out the README file, the section labeled "Configuring additional built-in modules."
Good luck! -Tom Shore On Fri, Jan 24, 2003 at 05:18:40PM +0200, Stoyan Angelov wrote: > hello all, > > i am trying to do a new install of Mailman 2.1 on a Solaris 7 x86 box, > gcc 2.95.2, Python 2.2.2, sendmail.
